A Georgia Cracker" sketch.
From the Atlanta Constitution.)

A certain girl, who was unconscious
of the dividing line between the lawful
and unlawful, became an accessory to
murder.
There was a great deal OF sympathy
for her, aud one night the jailor left the
door open so she could get away. She
escaped, and her relatives as simple as
herself, built for her IN the depths of
the forest, house of brush. There the
girl spent her days and nights At last
her hiding place was reported to the
sheriff and it became his duty to rearrest
her. Re went to the home of the rela
tives who had concealed her and called
out the old man The sheriff explained
his business and asked if the girl was
really in the neighbOrhood. The honest
old cracker replied:
g, apn, she air. She's rat over in
them air woods.
1t would have suited the sheriff
better if the old man had lied a little
bit.
care you sure she is over there" he
asked.
''She wus thar a bit ago
CHOW I'll tell you what you do, said
the sheriff, hopeful that the girl might
get away. ''You go over there and see
if she is there and come back and tell
me
'Ill do it." said the old man.
He was gone short time and on his
return said:
g, ap'n, she's thar
So the sheriff had no alternative but
to go to the hiding place of the girl and
make the arrest. To-day that simple
cracker girl is in the Georgia changing,
and they ssy she is gentle, modest and
yerv iadustrious-a model convict.

Barbara Persian Pun:shmcntS.

One of my travelling companions told
me that he saw the skeletons of several
robbers who had been seized and put to
death. A small round tank of brick
had been constructed, as high as to a
man chin. The condemned man was
then put into the tank, and newly mixed
plaster of paris poured in, until the tank
was full. The man was thus suffOcatcd,
and permanently fixed as warming to
other highwaynen Sometimes the con
demned one is placed with the head
down IN tank, or in a hole eXcavated
for that purpose, and the liquid plaster
is poured in until the body is firmly
fixed; the feet and ankles are left to
protrude. A chef of one of the Loree
clans entered an Armenian village, at
the head of several hOrscm2n, at night,
being eXasperuted at the refusal of the
people to comply with his demands, and
at the words spoken by some of the
people. They took the priest and some
of the principal men of the village, and
tied them one by one in a sack with a
large dog. and then beat the dog until,
in his rage, ne killed the man tied up
with him. The Persian governor, hear
ing of the affair, made a hunting cXcur-
sion into the territory of the tribe.
Etiquette required that the chief should
Wis the prince. He was sumptuously
entertained in the pavilion of the gov
ernor, his followers eng without.
When his suspicious had been dispelled.
in a moment an iron band was slipped
about his neck and chains put upon his
feet, and he was thrown alive into one

HARLEM'S TULIP MANIA.
Flowers Sold for Enormous Prices in the
Dutch City.

THE traditional fame of the Dutch as
gardeners is maintained in all its fresh
ness But it has lost its extravaganza
1t is brought So mind by u visit to Har.
! LEM, for Harlaea was one of the principal
centres of TIN so-called tulip mania 1t
is still remarkable for its tulips. its hva-
cinths and other1lbulbous flowers. There
are numerous gardens and nurseries of
plants about the city which are visited
by the curious, where those who desire
can buy seeds and bulbs. A large part
of the gardens of Europe are supplied
from them. The fever of speculation
called the tulip mania began about the
year 1884, and soon acquired such de-
velopment that a separate market was
required for the business as for stocks.
People sold long or short or on a margin,
and paid the difference the bulbs be-
ing never delivered. that being impossi-
BILE since, as was often the case, thev had
never even terminated. Prices reached
incredible figures. At the height of
the infatuation a single bulb of the tulip
named the Admiral Lielkenskoek cost
400 forms, or nearly $1,40 That of
another, called the Semper Augustus, is
said to have reached Is, 900 fiorins. OF
the last there existed one day in Holland
only two bulbs--One at Harlem, the
other at Amsterdam. For one of them
an anxious customer offered 4, 600 flor
ms, a carriage and pair of hor es COM
pletely equipped Another offered
twelve acres of land and was unable to
obtain the treasure. In 1857 there was
a sale Of 100 tulips at Alkmar for q
charitable object that realized 80, 600, or
nearly $40, 900 rs the florin is now
reckOned, though it must be borne in
mind that money was then worth two
or three times what it is at present.
Several of those vended at this sale had
special names. The Admiral of d'Enk-
huisen brought ), 200 forms, the Victory
4, COS forms and two others named the
Brabancon 3, 500 fiOrins each. Curious
stories are teld- Of lawsuits arising from
persons eating priceless bulbs by mistake
for onions, and the refusal to pay the
price agreed on for one reason or another. |
The government was at last obliged to |
intervene, when the bottom quickly fell |
out of the market and prices reached |
bed rock, where they have since remain |
ed. The tulip is at the best a gaudy |
and transient flower, odorless, and only |
valuable in gardens laid out on q large !
scale. Modern taste inclines more to |
flowers of more delica hues, of greater
permanence and endowed with subtle |
perfumes. How the staid Dutch char. |
acter could ever have been enticed into |
such world of extravaganza is as in

Even in the serious business of inves-

A DELIGHTFUL LAKE.
Just tho Place for Il Tired Man to Spend
the Summer.

One of the wonders of our great
country is Henry's Lake, on the summit
of the Rocky Mountains. near the line
between Idaho and Montana, on the Tar
gees Pass trail. From the mouth of a
cave in the side of bluff bursts forth a
river of considerable size. The spark,
ling water, after seething and roaring
under the weight of great pressure or
other hidden forces, spreads out over a
rocky bed of glistening quartz forty feet
wide and leaps from ledge to ledge,
down the lrecipitous heights. Thou
sands of mountain trout are continually
trying to stem that tumbling torrent.
T ey can be seen founclng in the air
from morning till night in their effort
to gain the underground river, after fol-
lowing the tumultuOus Snake 10 the
summit of the great watershed of the
continent. Indians catch and pack
away from that place tons of trout every
year. When we visited the fishing
ground a hungry nomadic tribe of dusly
natives, after weary days of travel, were
arranging camp and looking happy over
the prospect CT sumptnous meal. They
were to feast on fish uncaught
After lighting the log fir the fisher
men repaired to the foot Of the steep in
cline by the rushing outlet of the sub
terranean river Each man cut slender
rod and shaped it 10 fit loosely the hol-
low end of a buckhorn spear top. A
strong cord attached the tip to the rod
or haft to the spear. A muscular brave
would step forward, brawny bare arm
would raise the simple implement above
his head, where it would balance for q
second, and like an arrow it would be
hurled into the water with sure aim; a
trout would flash his speckled sides in
the sun, the blood would flow in red
cloud down the stream, and fine fish
would be landed on the green sward.
The buckhorn tip would pass through
the body and slip from the haft as it
was pulled back. The cord fastening
the tip to the rod would hold the fish,
let him flounder.as he would. After
catching about ten pounds for each
member of the company they proceeded
to cook the evening meal in m nner
as simple as it was strange. Large
quantities of soft clay were dug from the
bank and kneaded to the consistency of
dough, and each fish was separately en-
cased in cOatirg about an inch thick
and thrown into the fire to bake. They
were cooked without dressing. Some
of them were gasping for breath as they
were besmcared with clay The case
soon hardened in the fire, like brick in
kiln. The oil sized and sputtered
through the seams. Experts watched
closely, and when the perfect crematic
state was reached the fish We're with
drawn from the bed of fire. The shells
were broken with small stones and the
delicious morsels were turned out, steam
ing, white, and savory enough to tempt
an epicuTe.

THE OLD GAME AGAIN.
This Time Venerable Jerseymnn Pays
$4,000 to Learn ''BUnISO."

''Why, how do? I'm delighted to see
you'll" said a young man on Broad
street, Newark, to a tall, venerable
parsonage, mut1led up to his ears in q
shawl The Old gentleman was James
II. Baldwin q wealthy resident of Mont
clair and a leading member of the local
Presbyterian Church. He did not know
the old man, but the latter assured him
he was an old friend. He got Mr.. Bald
wins name, and after a brief converse
ton disappeared in the Post office.
The old man had not gone half block
when another young man tapped him
on the shoulder, and addressing him by
name, claimed TO be the son of the late
James Pinneo, president of the Nation
al Newark Banking Company, and an
old friend of Mr. Baldwin, who died
two weeks ago.
After some talk Mr.. Baldwin accom-
panied his new found friend to No. 80
Bank street, where Miss Mary Z. Mock
ridge conducts q fashionable boarding
house, and where the young man said
he had some valuable books, which he
wished to show the old gentleman.
They entered the parlor, and were soon
afterward joined by man who repre-
scented himself to be the agent for
Philadelphia book firm.
To make a long story short, the pair
proceeded to spring a bogus lot cry
game on the u suspecting Mir. Baldwin,
and finally induced him to 90 to bank
near by and procure So, 600 on his note
for one month. He returned with the
money in large bills, and the two "bun-
ko" men speedily relieved him of it, and
on one preteXt or another, without at
tracing his suspicion, got out of the
house.
When he had waited an hour he be
came suspicious and, rushing into the
street, told his story to a policeman.
He was directed to Headquarters, and
now the Newark police are looking for
the sharpers.
Mr.. Baldwin is seventy nine years old

Mr.. John V. Farwell got his reputation
for playing poker many years ago, before
he had even started on his career rs a
merchant which has put him at the head
of one of the largest drygoods houses in
the world 1t was while he was young
man, before he was married even, and
while he was n teller in George Smith s
bank He had begun business in Chi
cago as a clerk in the county clerk s
office at salary of SO per month and
his board, ami had worked his way
along up to responsible place in the
sOlidcst bank in the northwest. 1t was
in the days before combination locks
and he carried the key to the veult,
opening it in the morning and closing
1t at night. With few other young
men he had room in a building on
Lake St, and occasionally they used to
play that good old fashioned game of
rounce for the theatre tickets. Later
they introduced poker, and played 1t in
moderate way as their means would
permit. At last somebody told Mr..
Smith about this poker game, and one
morning Mr.. Farwell was summoned
into his office soon after he entered the
bank. The canny old Scotchman eyed
him sharply for a moment and then
said:
.'Mr. FarweII, they tell me you play
poker Is it sou
81 guess it is, said the young teller,
returning his employers steady gaze.
"Well, do you think ought to trust
the KEY OF his banks vaults in the
hands of a man who plays poker"
Mr.. Farwell modestly explained that
that idea had never occurred to him.
He had lost no money at the game, and
had never felt tempted to open the vault
except at the regular hours and for the
banks business If Mr.. Smith wished
it he would play poker no more while
he remained in his employ.
Mr.. Smith said he was perfectly sgtis:
fed with that declaration, and Mr.
Farwell retained the key of the rich
mans strong box. He faithfully kept
his word and played cards no more
while he renamed in the bank, but the
reputation has always stuck to him.
